There’s a reason that they say dogs are man’s best friend. These furry friends are more than just animals, they truly become a part of our lives and families. Some dogs even start to take on the traits and emotions of their humans. These amazing creatures are truly smarter than we ever give them credit for.
Take this dog, Nacho, for instance. Nacho is an adorable boxer who fits right in with the family. In fact, he fits in so well that he acts just like another baby around the house. This funny guy even thinks that the baby’s toys and items are for him. Just watch as his owner finds Nacho hilariously sitting in the baby’s car seat.
He was going to run some errands with his human and Nacho thought that he found the perfect seat in the entire vehicle. He turns around and sits his behind right in the baby’s car seat and I’m laughing so hard. I can’t imagine his owner’s reaction when she came out and saw Nacho sitting in the seat looking right at her.
The seat does look awfully comfy, but I think Nacho might be a little too big for this one. This funny boxer has definitely made himself a part of the family and he’s expecting to be treated exactly the same. Has your fur baby ever done anything like this before? What would your reaction be if you saw them in a situation like this? I think I’d be doubled over in laughter!
When we raise our children, we all do our best to make sure that they know right from wrong. We also strive to teach them how to be safe and avoid potentially dangerous situations. One of the first lessons we teach our young children is about ‘stranger danger.’ It’s a simple lesson that may feel like it doesn’t even need to be said, but our words and lessons are so important to the kids.
Thankfully, 7-year-old Emmy McCardell took her mother’s words on strangers to heart and it probably saved her life. Emmy was outside her house sunbathing when a stranger in a vehicle pulled up. He greeted Emmy and then asked if she would like a bicycle. Quick-thinking Emmy immediately jumped up, shouted ‘no’, and ran inside to her mother. 'Hey there's a tricky guy who tried to get me,’ Emmy said to her mom.
A camera outside of the house captured this terrifying moment on video, so Emmy’s mother was able to give it to the police department for further investigation. They agreed that the man’s actions were suspicious and this could’ve been a potential kidnapping situation. But Emmy remembered her mother’s words on ‘stranger danger’ and did the right thing by running right inside. T
his is such a scary moment, but thankfully everything turned out all right for this family. Now, this footage is serving as a warning to other parents to make sure that their children know what do when a stranger approached. We can never be too careful with the lives of our kids.
It’s never easy to watch a loved one experience a disease such as Alzheimer’s. They rob people of their memories and take away a lot of what makes up a person’s personality. Anyone who has fought this heartbreaking disease will tell you that certain parts of losing your memory hurt way more than others.
Sisters Ann Patrick and Marguerita Wilson haven’t seen each other in more than 15 years. Sadly, both sisters suffer from Alzheimer’s. But today, these long lost sisters are reuniting and it’s such a beautiful moment. 88-year-old Marguerita’s condition is not as advanced as her sisters, so she immediately recognized Ann. She burst into tears and embraced her sister in a sweet hug. There are so many emotions in this moment that you can’t help but tear up yourself.
Both women recognize something familiar in the other, even if they can’t quite put their finger on it. They come together just like they see each other every day, without missing a single beat. Even though they may not remember this encounter, thankfully, someone decided to film it all so everyone will be able to cherish this moment for years to come.
I can’t imagine the heartache it must be to watch your loved ones go through this terrible disease, but moments of hope like this make the days much better. I’m praying for all the families going through similar situations right now. Just know that God is with you each step of the way and He will never leave your side.
If you are a pet owner, you know what it’s like to love and be loved unconditionally. There is truly nothing like the friendship we receive from our fur babies. Dogs, in particular, tend to hold a very special place in their owner’s hearts. And there’s definitely a reason that they call a dog man’s best friend.
Our animals truly become a part of the family and when they are no longer with us, the void is felt. One of the worst experiences for a pet owner is if their beloved animal is ever lost. It’s such a sad feeling knowing that your loved one is out there and could potentially be all alone and not able to get back home.
That’s exactly what happened to this one woman when her sweet dog was missing for over 2 weeks. All she wanted was to bring her baby home and after days of searching and waiting, she finally got the phone call she had been waiting on. The City of Jackson Animal Shelter received this woman’s dog and they were finally going to be reunited.
I thought it was going to be sweet, but I had no idea there would be so many emotions going on. Just watch this happy dog as he realizes that his human is right in front of him. He does a happy dance and she starts to join in too. There’s no denying the happiness that is on each one of their faces. I’m so glad that this dog was able to return home safely.
A lot of people think that once you get older, it means you are limited in what you can do. People will tell you all of the things that you will miss out on or the things that you are no longer allowed to do. But age is really nothing but a number and if you set your mind to something, the possibilities are endless.
81-year-old Mr. McCoy knew that he could do a backflip in the pool, but there were a lot of doubters around him. He decided to prove everybody wrong and there is proof on camera to back it all up. Just watch as Mr. McCoy gets in the pool, surrounded by three friends. From there, they help lift this grandpa up into the air and he goes flying. And with perfect precision, Mr. McCoy does a backflip with cheers all around him. It is obvious that this man is young at heart and everyone loves it.
I cannot get over how great he looks for someone his age and all of the life and spirit that he has. It truly shows that age can’t hold you back when you are determined and strive to be your best. This is not only entertaining, but it’s also very inspiring to watch. Mr. McCoy may be a grandpa but I think that he has more energy than most men half his age. I sure hope this is what I am like when I’m in my eighties. Who else agrees?
Nature has a way of being completely unpredictable. You never know what will happen when you’re wandering in the woods. That’s one reason why you always need to be on alert and aware of your surroundings. This could be the difference between life or death in nature. And that’s exactly what happened to Jessica Boshoff and her husband Dale Boshoff when they were on a hike with their friend Jordan Illsley in the Canadian Rockies.
They were just a few minutes into the hike when they came across a large grizzly bear. The bear was right on the trail in the path that the three needed to take. But when they were faced with a scary situation like this, all three knew to keep calm and make very little movements. They all started to slowly back away from the bear, in case he tried to do anything. Instead of trying to go past the giant creature, they decided not to risk anything.
When they were further away, Dale pulled out his phone and started to record the encounter. You can hear the Australians remark on the size of the bear and we all get to see the giant creature move along the trail before continuing to head away from the group. It’s truly amazing and terrifying all at the same time. Not a lot of people can say they came that close to grizzly bear. I’m do glad that the group was safe and unharmed. What would you have done in this situation?
There’s an old saying about never missing something that you never had. And that’s completely true. You never really know what was different until you actually have the opportunity to see it from the other side. I think that’s exactly what is happening to this groom on his very special day.
24-year-old Griffin is about to marry the love of his life in just a few hours. He’s all dressed and ready to go but there is one thing he has left to do. His bride-to-be, Blaire Ahlers, wanted to give him something extra special on their wedding day and she made sure it was in his room before the ceremony.
Now, Griffin is opening this present and it’s completely life changing. Griffin is colorblind and has never been able to see all the wonders that the world around us offers. He has seen Enchroma glasses before, which allow colorblind people to see color, but they are very expensive. Blaire wanted to give her future husband a gift he would remember so she purchased the glasses and Griffin is seeing the real world for the very first time. Just watch as he walks around the room, glancing all over, before he finally looks outside.
You can see the emotions all over his face as he realizes what he has been missing this entire time. Griffin said, "I put them on and truth be known my whole life changed.” This is definitely a gift that he will never forget and it’s made this special day in Griffin’s life even more memorable.
A house fire can be completely devastating. Not only have you been through a very scary experience, but you are left without the place you know and love and all of your possessions. It’s hard to adjust to a new place and start over with nothing, but this is the reality for many people around the world.
This man knows all too well about how terrifying a house fire can be and just what it’s like to return to where you used to live and see nothing but rubble. This man is returning home for the first time since a devastating California fire came through his home. He walks up the long drive and all you can see is smoke and dirt. But this man was there for one reason and that was to see if his beloved dog had survived the ordeal. They were separated during the initial fire and this owner has been worried sick the entire time.
Now that it is safe to come back, he’s hoping his best buddy managed to come through alive. Just watch as he rounds the corner of the driveway and the dog comes running right at him. I know that both of them are so happy to see each other and a lot of prayers have been answered.
I can’t imagine being separated from my furbaby from something like a fire, but I’m so glad that these two were able to be reunited and everyone is okay. God was truly with this dog the entire time.
When you have talent and a dream, there’s truly nothing that can hold you back. It’s always incredible to watch people follow their passion and live out their best lives. 29-year-old Alfina Fresta is the perfect example of following your dream, no matter what the rest of the world says.
Alfina has Cerebral Palsy and many people think that limits your entire life. But Alfina is proving all of these people wrong in the best way possible. This incredible woman has a voice like no other and when you hear her sing, it will absolutely blow you away.
The Sicilian woman is affected by spastic dystonic tetraparesis and is visually impaired but none of these things has stopped her from sharing her beautiful voice for all the world to hear. Recently, Alfina performed at the Sicilian Festival of the Family in Etna, Italy and her powerful performance was seen all over the Internet.
Now, she’s back for another performance and it’s even better than the first. Just listen as Alfina stands up and belts her heart out to this moving tune. She is assisted by Stefania Licciardello who helps hold her up during the performance.
I think everyone in the audience was stunned by this incredible voice and I felt the exact same way. There is so much talent and skill in her voice and it’s one you have to hear to believe. I sure hope we get to hear more from this amazing woman. Who else is in awe of this beautiful voice?
Hillary Harris of Eau Claire, Wisconsin was almost ready to move before she discovered something amazing about the house next door. The house beside Hillary shared a driveway with hers and there had been a constant stream of renters coming and going from the home. Some of those tenants were less than desirable and Hillary was fed up with it all.
When Dawn Johnson moved it, Hillary was downright cold to her. "She would not acknowledge me whatsoever,” Dawn said. But for some reason, Hillary’s 5-year-old daughter and Dawn struck up an unlikely bond. This led to Hillary’s husband getting to know their new neighbor. After starting a conversation, he found out that Dawn was from Greenwood, Wisconsin.
When Hillary was an infant, she was adopted but her adoption papers showed that she had a sister named Dawn Johnson from Greenwood. But Hillary and her husband just could not believe that their new neighbor could actually be her sister. That seemed like such a stretch. After doing a bit more research, and talking with Dawn, it was officially confirmed that Hillary’s frustrating neighbor next door was actually her long lost sister.
Now, these two are happy to be so close and share a driveway and Hillary is anything but cold to her. This just goes to show that you should never judge a book by it is cover and someone’s story could be just the one you have been waiting to hear all your life. Just how amazing is this unexpected reunion?
There’s nothing like watching a child follow their dreams and find happiness and success. And that’s exactly what is happening right now with 12-year-old Angel Garcia from Los Angeles, California. This talented young boy has a passion for singing and he’s ready to make his dream a reality. Just watch as he steps onto the America’s Got Talent stage and instantly wins over the judges with his charming personality and smile.
He confidently took the stage and everyone took notice. But the most memorable thing about Angel is when he said what inspires him to perform. Angel’s dad, who is watching him from backstage, is his biggest inspiration. What a sweet sentiment from this young boy. And then Angel starts to sing and the entire audition takes another turn.
From the very first note, I couldn’t get over the voice that came out of his body. It’s obvious that Angel is mature well beyond his years and his vocal abilities truly showcase that. He belted out a Spanish tune and it had the crowd on their feet.
I might not be able to understand all of the words, but I can definitely hear the talent and skill behind his performance. I know he must’ve practiced so hard for this audition and it’s all paying off in this moment. Some of those high notes are not easy to hit, but Angel acted like it was easy as pie. I have a feeling that he is going to have a long career ahead of him. Who else agrees?
‘O say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?’
I always love hearing ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ It is one of those songs that truly makes you feel alive and you can’t help but sing along to the patriotic melody.
Today, the talented group of 7th Ave are giving this special tune the a cappella treatment and it’s absolutely beautiful to hear. These 4 incredible voices always put their heart and soul into every single performance. They truly give their all and it comes across with each song and medley. I’m in awe of all the skill and talent in this one song.
This group never ceases to amaze with their vocals and they always pick the perfect songs to showcase their talent. I truly believe that they all have a God-given talent for performing and it's absolutely amazing to hear them use that talent in such a beautiful way.
There’s no doubt that they completely nailed this performance and we all know that ‘The National Anthem’ is not an easy song to perform. But, as soon as they started to sing, I knew this was going to be a rendition to remember. There are a few tricky notes and your voice has got to be nearly perfect to pull of this patriotic tune. I think we can all agree that these a cappella singers did this song justice. This was the absolute perfect song to listen to today. Who else agrees with me?
‘O say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?’
5-year-old Sophie Fatu truly has a voice like no other. There's no doubt that Sophie is talented way beyond her years. She originally won our hearts when she belted out one of her favorite Frank Sinatra songs 'My Way.' Sophie became a viral sensation all over the Internet.
Today, Sophie is taking on a difficult task as she performs ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’ The National Anthem is never an easy song to sing, but Sophie truly put her all into it. From beginning to end, Sophie belted her heart out and it was full of pride for her country.
It’s so heartwarming to watch this sweetie do exactly what she loves and I think she definitely did this song justice. I just love how much passion she puts into each and every word. Sophie is very serious about her performance and it truly comes across. It's obvious that she can light up any room and this young girl has a bright future ahead of her. She's following her dreams and it's absolutely heartwarming to witness.
This patriotic performance touched my heart and it’s definitely one of my favorite renditions. What did you think of little Sophie and her National Anthem performance? I hope we continue to hear more from this pint-sized cutie!
Chick-Fil-A fast food restaurants are known for this incredible food and kind service. Anytime you go to Chick-Fil-A, the employees are always polite and willing to go above and beyond to make your meal a pleasant experience.
Danny Cadra knows all about the amazing service at Chick-Fil-A and that’s one of the reasons he’s a regular at the location in Lubbock, Texas. But recently, Danny experienced an amazing act of kindness that has turned into something so much bigger.
Danny had just received his food from the drive-thru window when he drove off without his change. Cashier Marcus Henderson could’ve just put the money back in the register, but he knew that Danny would come back so he did something incredible instead.
Marcus got an envelope and put the change inside, for safe keeping, until Danny came back and Marcus could give him his change. Every single day that Marcus came to work, he put the envelope in his back pocket, waiting for Danny to return.
It was nearly 3 weeks later when Danny and his daughter came into the restaurant. He was blown away when Marcus presented him with the change that he had completely forgot about.
After the two started talking, they realized that they had more in common that just the act of kindness. In college, Danny was a trumpet major at Texas Tech and that is the exact same major as Marcus. These two have created a bond and it all started with a kind gesture. What an amazing story.
God has been so good to me and I must share it. I would have never believed that he would be using me in such a mighty way. I was angry and blamed God for the loss of my two friends and legs for many years. I now realize that my own free will and bad decision making is the cause of these devastating events. I see that God simply took his hand from me until I reached a place where my only option was to turn to him. When I finally came to that place, he was standing there with his arms wide open. He is such a loving Father. I set a goal to walk for the first time in 20 years. It took a miracle from God to make it happen. I am thankful for all I have been through. I believe that I would not know the purpose God has for my life if I had not gone through these horrible things.
